Jürgen Klopp extended interview: Why I've made the decision to leave Liverpool: Part 3

When you signed that last contract in 2022, there was a lot of talk about Ulla and her influence in making that happen. What’s her reaction to this news?

I had to explain it, of course I had to. It was not like, ‘Oh, thank God.’ You must not misunderstand. Not at all. She asked me why and I explained it like I explain it now to you, with a few more maybe private details, but besides that it was pretty similar.

And obviously Ulla wants me to do well and be fine, and when she realised that I’m really clear about that – and she knows I don’t take these kind of things lightly – she is happy for me, that I’m happy with the decision. Because that’s the truth. When people tell me now all the different things we do in the moment and what’s going well with the team and stuff like this, I enjoy it like crazy. But I enjoy it as well because I know I will not have to do it forever. I need to find a different purpose as well, I need to have a look for it.

If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no. But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation. What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool, 100 per cent. That’s not possible. My love for this club, my respect for the people is too big. I couldn’t. I couldn’t for a second think about it. There’s no chance. This is part of my life, we are part of the family, we feel home here. There’s no chance to do that.

But all the rest, will I ever work again? Of course, I know myself, I cannot just sit around. I will find something else maybe to do. But I will not manage a club or a country at least for a year, that’s not possible, I cannot do that and I don’t want to. That’s all. It’s such a strange situation because I have to explain that I don’t have energy anymore, but now I’m sitting here and I have energy and I’m buzzing for everything that’s happening here. But because of the relationship we have, I have to think about this. Because nobody will sack me, I have to make this decision by myself.

The responsibility I have for everything here tells me I’m not the right one for the future, so I have to tell. As much as I wish I would be. And that’s what I do here. It’s completely strange. I’m looking forward to the Norwich game, I do, I’m really looking forward to the Norwich game, to play it, a home game. Then we play Chelsea at home. At one point the new stand will be completely full. So many wonderful things happened in the time since I’m here, it’s just amazing and I love all that but I will follow that, I will be part of it, I will support it, but not in the main chair anymore from a specific point on.

Coming back to your love for the city of Liverpool, you said something recently and I think our supporters would quite like to hear what you said. It was about what getting the Freedom of the City meant to you…

It is an honour. We have enough time to talk about everything, there will be after the season, whenever you want me here. I have a contract until the end of June and we can talk about absolutely everything. For me, the situation is [that] today is an announcement day, if you want. We have to say what we have to say. All the rest will come, we will have time for it and these kind of things. That I not only feel home, that I am home here, is 100 per cent clear. That I will love this club forever, will be grateful forever, is 100 per cent clear. That getting the key of the city is one of the most special moments of my whole entire life, that I never expected something like this to happen, makes it even more special because I didn’t even know that you have something like that.

When I got it, when I heard the speeches, when I saw the ceremony and all these kinds of things, it was so special, it was incredible. And made me an honorary Liverpudlian or Scouser, however you want to see it. But there are so many things and that’s not the moment to talk about the fantastic time we had, because this wonderful book we wrote together since we are here together, I would love to put a few more chapters into it. That’s what I want. I know there are kids out there when they run at my car after games and want to have signings and autographs and stuff like this – they never experienced a different manager since they are born. Only recently we met Dáire, our friend, I probably have to explain it to him as well, and I will, that’s no problem.

I really will try to do all these things. But in this moment, that’s it and from here we go. I told why but people might not believe it. OK, if I have a health issue then everybody says, ‘OK, he’s not healthy’ so that’s normal. All the rest, there will be a lot of discussions around. So, I can tell, the owners tried everything, absolutely everything. There’s no issue, nobody has to discuss that, it’s nothing to do with FSG. I loved so many things about what we did in the past – we built two new stands , we built a new training ground, we had always wonderful football teams.

Did it always go exactly my way? I’m not sure, I don’t even remember it anymore because it was all about discussing hard, talking about it; what is possible, what is not possible? And from the moment on when the decisions were made, we had the best possible football team. People will say, if he would have got more backing from the owners then this and that would have happened. Do you really think with one more player – a different player – we would have had a point more than when we reached 97 points? I don’t know how that goes, players are not that influential, scoring in the right moment – it was about 11mm here or 15mm there. That’s life.

We had so many good things, if you want to remember them, remember them. I will forever, I will cherish that 100 per cent. But this is the moment where we have to: OK, now everybody knows, now the club can plan, now everything can be sorted, organised and we can keep playing the football we are playing. That’s actually the idea. Because there are, in our situation, not a lot of different scenarios . I could go in the next season and start it with like, ‘Oh my God, again?’ Stuff like this. And that’s not me. My coaching, my managing style is based on energy, I usually have enough to give it to a lot of people. And if that’s not there I am not the same. If I am not the same I cannot do it. And that’s what we all – I – have to accept. And I hope you can accept it as well. And then we go, that’s the plan.

Is that your message to supporters, then?

The message to supporters: I really would like you to accept the decision. That would be nice. And then if I can ask for one more thing, after telling you don’t sing my song too early, after telling you be loud in the stadium, stuff like this, if I could ask you for one more thing it would be: don’t make these games about me, because there’s no need. The only thing I always wanted was the full support for the team, it’s not for me. I know about our relationship, I don’t need any kind of proof. We will have a moment, maybe the last matchday here or somewhere else – I mean in other countries or other competitions. There’s enough time to do these kinds of things. Let’s now really go for it. The outside world want to use this decision, laugh about it, want to disturb us. We are Liverpool, we went through harder things together. And you went through harder things before me. Let’s make a strength of it. That would be really cool. Let’s squeeze everything out of this season and have another thing to smile about when we look back in the future. Thank you.

尤尔根·克洛普专访扩展版：为何我决定离开利物浦（第三部分）

When you signed that last contract in 2022, there was a lot of talk about Ulla and her influence in making that happen. What’s her reaction to this news?

当您在2022年签下最后一份合同时，很多人都在谈论乌拉以及她对此事的影响。她对这个消息有什么反应？

I had to explain it, of course I had to. It was not like, ‘Oh, thank God.’ You must not misunderstand. Not at all. She asked me why and I explained it like I explain it now to you, with a few more maybe private details, but besides that it was pretty similar.

我当然必须向她解释。她的反应并不是“哦，谢天谢地”。您不要误会，绝对不是这样。她问我为什么，我就像现在向您解释的那样向她解释，可能还涉及一些更私人的细节，但除此之外，情况都差不多。

And obviously Ulla wants me to do well and be fine, and when she realised that I’m really clear about that – and she knows I don’t take these kind of things lightly – she is happy for me, that I’m happy with the decision. Because that’s the truth. When people tell me now all the different things we do in the moment and what’s going well with the team and stuff like this, I enjoy it like crazy. But I enjoy it as well because I know I will not have to do it forever. I need to find a different purpose as well, I need to have a look for it.

显然，乌拉希望我一切顺利，安好无恙，当她意识到我对此非常明确——她知道我不会轻率对待这类事情——她为我感到高兴，为我对这个决定感到满意而高兴。因为这就是事实。当人们现在告诉我我们目前正在做的所有不同的事情，以及球队进展顺利等等，我疯狂地享受其中。但我也很喜欢它，因为我知道我不必永远这样做。我也需要找到不同的目标，我需要去寻找它。

If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no. But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation. What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool, 100 per cent. That’s not possible. My love for this club, my respect for the people is too big. I couldn’t. I couldn’t for a second think about it. There’s no chance. This is part of my life, we are part of the family, we feel home here. There’s no chance to do that.

如果您问我，“您还会再次担任主教练吗？”我现在会说不会。但显然我不知道那会是什么感觉，因为我从未经历过那种情况。我所知道的是——我绝对不会再在英格兰管理除利物浦之外的任何其他俱乐部，百分之百不会。那不可能。我对这个俱乐部的爱，对这里的人的尊重太大了。我做不到，一秒钟都不会考虑。没有可能。这是我生活的一部分，我们是一家人，我们在这里有家的感觉。那不可能发生。

But all the rest, will I ever work again? Of course, I know myself, I cannot just sit around. I will find something else maybe to do. But I will not manage a club or a country at least for a year, that’s not possible, I cannot do that and I don’t want to. That’s all. It’s such a strange situation because I have to explain that I don’t have energy anymore, but now I’m sitting here and I have energy and I’m buzzing for everything that’s happening here. But because of the relationship we have, I have to think about this. Because nobody will sack me, I have to make this decision by myself.

但除此之外，我还会再工作吗？当然，我了解自己，我不能只是闲坐着。我可能会找到其他事情来做。但至少在一年内，我不会管理俱乐部或国家队，那不可能，我做不到，我也不想。就这样。情况很奇怪，因为我不得不解释我已经没有精力了，但现在我坐在这里，我精力充沛，对这里发生的一切都很兴奋。但因为我们之间的关系，我不得不考虑这一点。因为没有人会解雇我，我不得不自己做出这个决定。

The responsibility I have for everything here tells me I’m not the right one for the future, so I have to tell. As much as I wish I would be. And that’s what I do here. It’s completely strange. I’m looking forward to the Norwich game, I do, I’m really looking forward to the Norwich game, to play it, a home game. Then we play Chelsea at home. At one point the new stand will be completely full. So many wonderful things happened in the time since I’m here, it’s just amazing and I love all that but I will follow that, I will be part of it, I will support it, but not in the main chair anymore from a specific point on.

我对这里的一切所承担的责任告诉我，我不是未来的合适人选，所以我必须说出来。尽管我多么希望我能是。这就是我在这里所做的。这完全很奇怪。我期待与诺维奇的比赛，真的很期待，这是一场主场比赛。然后我们在主场迎战切尔西。新看台将会座无虚席。自从我来到这里以来，发生了很多美好的事情，这真是太神奇了，我爱这一切，但我会继续关注，我会参与其中，我会支持它，但从某个特定的时间点开始，我不再坐在主要的位置上了。

Coming back to your love for the city of Liverpool, you said something recently and I think our supporters would quite like to hear what you said. It was about what getting the Freedom of the City meant to you…

回到您对利物浦这座城市的热爱，您最近说了一些话，我想我们的支持者很想听听您说了什么。那是关于获得城市自由对您意味着什么……

It is an honour. We have enough time to talk about everything, there will be after the season, whenever you want me here. I have a contract until the end of June and we can talk about absolutely everything. For me, the situation is [that] today is an announcement day, if you want. We have to say what we have to say. All the rest will come, we will have time for it and these kind of things. That I not only feel home, that I am home here, is 100 per cent clear. That I will love this club forever, will be grateful forever, is 100 per cent clear. That getting the key of the city is one of the most special moments of my whole entire life, that I never expected something like this to happen, makes it even more special because I didn’t even know that you have something like that.

这是一种荣誉。我们有足够的时间来谈论一切，赛季结束后会有时间，无论您什么时候需要我。我的合同到六月底结束，我们可以谈论绝对任何事情。对我来说，现在的情况是，如果您愿意的话，今天是一个宣布的日子。我们必须说出我们必须说的话。其余的都会随之而来，我们会有时间来做这些事情。我不仅仅感觉这里像家一样，这里就是我的家，这是百分之百明确的。我将永远热爱这个俱乐部，永远心怀感激，这是百分之百明确的。获得城市钥匙是我一生中最特别的时刻之一，我从未预料到会发生这样的事情，这让它更加特别，因为我甚至不知道还有这样的事情。

When I got it, when I heard the speeches, when I saw the ceremony and all these kinds of things, it was so special, it was incredible. And made me an honorary Liverpudlian or Scouser, however you want to see it. But there are so many things and that’s not the moment to talk about the fantastic time we had, because this wonderful book we wrote together since we are here together, I would love to put a few more chapters into it. That’s what I want. I know there are kids out there when they run at my car after games and want to have signings and autographs and stuff like this – they never experienced a different manager since they are born. Only recently we met Dáire, our friend, I probably have to explain it to him as well, and I will, that’s no problem.

当我得到它时，当我听到演讲时，当我看到仪式和所有这些事情时，它是如此的特别，令人难以置信。它让我成为了荣誉利物浦人或斯科塞人，无论您想怎么看待它。但是有很多事情，现在并不是谈论我们度过的美好时光的时候，因为这本我们自从来到这里就一起写下的精彩的书，我很想再在其中添加几章。那就是我想要的。我知道有些孩子在比赛后会跑到我的车前索要签名之类的东西——他们从出生起就没有经历过其他的主教练。就在最近，我们遇到了我们的朋友戴尔，我可能也得向他解释，我会的，这没问题。

I really will try to do all these things. But in this moment, that’s it and from here we go. I told why but people might not believe it. OK, if I have a health issue then everybody says, ‘OK, he’s not healthy’ so that’s normal. All the rest, there will be a lot of discussions around. So, I can tell, the owners tried everything, absolutely everything. There’s no issue, nobody has to discuss that, it’s nothing to do with FSG. I loved so many things about what we did in the past – we built two new stands, we built a new training ground, we had always wonderful football teams.

我真的会尽力去做这些事情。但此时此刻，就是这样，我们从这里出发。我说过为什么，但人们可能不相信。好吧，如果我有健康问题，那么每个人都会说，“好吧，他不健康”，这很正常。其他的，会有很多讨论。所以，我可以说，老板们已经尽了一切努力，绝对是一切。没有问题，没有人需要讨论，这与FSG无关。我喜欢我们过去做的很多事情——我们建造了两个新的看台，一个新的训练场，我们一直拥有出色的足球队。

Did it always go exactly my way? I’m not sure, I don’t even remember it anymore because it was all about discussing hard, talking about it; what is possible, what is not possible? And from the moment on when the decisions were made, we had the best possible football team. People will say, if he would have got more backing from the owners then this and that would have happened. Do you really think with one more player – a different player – we would have had a point more than when we reached 97 points? I don’t know how that goes, players are not that influential, scoring in the right moment – it was about 11mm here or 15mm there. That’s life.

事情总是按照我的方式发展吗？我不确定，我甚至不再记得了，因为这都是关于艰苦的讨论，谈论它；什么是可能的，什么是不可能的？从做出决定的那一刻起，我们就拥有了最好的足球队。人们会说，如果他得到老板更多的支持，那么这就会发生。你真的认为再有一个球员——一个不同的球员——我们的得分就会比我们达到97分时更高吗？我不知道这是怎么回事，球员们并没有那么大的影响力，在正确的时刻得分——这关乎11毫米或15毫米。这就是生活。

We had so many good things, if you want to remember them, remember them. I will forever, I will cherish that 100 per cent. But this is the moment where we have to: OK, now everybody knows, now the club can plan, now everything can be sorted, organised and we can keep playing the football we are playing. That’s actually the idea. Because there are, in our situation, not a lot of different scenarios. I could go in the next season and start it with like, ‘Oh my God, again?’ Stuff like this. And that’s not me. My coaching, my managing style is based on energy, I usually have enough to give it to a lot of people. And if that’s not there I am not the same. If I am not the same I cannot do it. And that’s what we all – I – have to accept. And I hope you can accept it as well. And then we go, that’s the plan.

我们有过很多美好的事情，如果你想记住它们，就记住它们。我会永远珍惜这百分之百。但这是我们必须面对的时刻：好吧，现在每个人都知道，现在俱乐部可以计划，现在一切都可以整理，组织起来，我们可以继续踢我们正在踢的足球。这实际上就是我们的想法。因为在我们的情况下，没有太多不同的场景。我可以在下个赛季开始的时候说，“哦，天哪，又来了？”这类的话。但我不是那样的人。我的教练风格，我的管理风格都是基于精力的，我通常有足够的精力给很多人。如果没有的话，我就不一样了。如果我不一样，我就做不到。这就是我们都必须接受的事实。我希望你也能接受。然后我们就按照计划进行。

Is that your message to supporters, then?

这是你想对支持者们说的话吗？

The message to supporters: I really would like you to accept the decision. That would be nice. And then if I can ask for one more thing, after telling you don’t sing my song too early, after telling you be loud in the stadium, stuff like this, if I could ask you for one more thing it would be: don’t make these games about me, because there’s no need. The only thing I always wanted was the full support for the team, it’s not for me. I know about our relationship, I don’t need any kind of proof. We will have a moment, maybe the last matchday here or somewhere else – I mean in other countries or other competitions. There’s enough time to do these kinds of things. Let’s now really go for it. The outside world want to use this decision, laugh about it, want to disturb us. We are Liverpool, we went through harder things together. And you went through harder things before me. Let’s make a strength of it. That would be really cool. Let’s squeeze everything out of this season and have another thing to smile about when we look back in the future. Thank you.

我想对支持者们说的是：我真的希望你们能接受这个决定。那就太好了。然后，如果我能再要求一件事的话，在告诉你不要太早唱我的歌之后，在告诉你要在体育场里大声点之后，如果我能再要求你一件事的话，那就是：不要让这些比赛与我有关，因为没有这个必要。我唯一想要的就是对球队的全力支持，而不是对我。我知道我们的关系，我不需要任何证明。我们会有那么一刻，也许是在这里的最后一场比赛，或者是在其他地方——我是指在其他国家或其他比赛。有足够的时间来做这些事情。让我们现在就开始吧。外面的世界想利用这个决定，嘲笑它，想扰乱我们。我们是利物浦，我们一起经历过更艰难的事情。你在我之前也经历过更艰难的事情。让我们把它变成一种力量。那真的太酷了。让我们把这个赛季的一切都挤出来，在未来回首时，我们还有另一件事可以微笑。谢谢。
